The Historian Says:

I don care if u dont like the way he dresses, I don’t either. All Im sayin is that ur focusing just on that and not enough on the music.

Historian, I feel what you’re trying to say. It SHOULD be true – in principle. BUT HIP-HOP is the only music where it matters. Basically I always say, 99% of hip-hop fans ARE NOT GOING TO BUY A RAPPER’S CD IF THEY COULDN’T SEE THEMSELVES KICKIN IT WITH THEM.
If you can’t see yourself dranking, smoking, playing cards, ridin with, going to the club with, or whatever you do with a rapper, you most likely won’t bump him.
We all felt like Sisqo was gay but it didn’t matter if you like Dru Hill’s music. HIP-HOP IS NOT LIKE THAT AND KANYE SEEMS REAL GAY. That’s what people mean by talking about how he dress.
Would you walk in the club with your homeboy if he’s dressed like that?

I agree. Food & Liquor is a classic album. Everything from the song featuring Jill Scoot to this song called the Instrumental where he talks about the box. “The Cool” is remarkable.I can tell he took his time with this album. He built a big enough buzz and ever had his album leaked twice. I think there is gonna be a lof more in store for this cat. I now truly believe that hip-hop is not dead!!

For those of you that doubt Common’s “Be” for its critical acclaim I’m going to name a single track off of the album that will answer all questions – “Its Your World” and while I’m at it “Faithful”, “Be (The Intro)”, and “Real People”! Hip Hop music is still alive its just that it isn’t getting its proper recognition from the mainstream…

Its said to say but most brothers and sisters don’t like to pick up a book and read, so how can you expect them to pick up and thoughtfully digest a Common or Lupe Fiasco album???? They would rather it fed through a tube, along with street tales, and club records like a Jay or Nas Lp!

You dumb fucks need to grow up and stop calling the cover gay. It’s no gayer than Pharrel’s psudeo-anime mecha cover.

Did Lupe have his shirt off on the cover? No.

Just shut the hell up.

[...] Maybe I’m in the minority, but I think an artist’s job is to tell us what they want to say, not what we want to hear. When these things overlap it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but I hardly think it’s a (or the only) qualifying factor for a good (or classic) record. What I’m saying is, I think we should hold our “conscious” rappers to higher standards, and not let them get by solely on their consciousness (or their sneaker collection). [...]

For all of you who may still be second guessing Lupe, you really must give him a shot. I remember about a month ago I got into an argument with someone for him telling me that Lupe is the nicest in the game. And although i still don’t think that he is the nicest, I will say without hesitation, that he has the best album that i have heard in a really long time. And thats based on just wat every likes about him and what Tara so eloquently stated, he way too ordinary and way too extraordinary at the same time. Simple lines and bars and metaphores, yet at the same time thought provoking and insightful lyrics fill the album.

Now from the stuff that was leaked and his prior mixtapes, i’ve heard about 2 songs, which was probably why i wasnt impressed in the beginning, but make no mistake, his album has been played in my ipod, cd player and car all week.

And to top it off, my pregnant girlfriend says that my soon to be born son kicks the most in her stomach whenever kick push or I gotcha comes on as opposed to any other song in her ipod. Coincidence… I think not!

Yo the MUSLIM BROTHER is on his rap DEAN, I love that he had some of those songs remade with new verses, Pressure being the main one, Lupe is the breathe of fresh air, matter of fact the last 3 joints to come out of chi town have been much needed for hip hop (Commons BE, Kanye Late registration, & Lupe’s Food & Liqour)

Chicago is starting to be known as a concious place rather than a place where niggas pull yo card. Kanye, Rhymefest, Lupe, The Com. Its like chicago is the average-rap capital or something. But i forget about twista, do or die, crucial conflict, shawnna, and boo and gotti.
